Gene Description | L-arginine plays a critical role in regulating the immune system. In inflammation, cancer, and certain other pathological conditions, myeloid cell differentiation is inhibited leading to a heterogeneous population of immature myeloid cells, known as myeloid-derived suppressor cells. MDSCs are recruited to sites of cancer-associated inflammation and express high levels of arginase-1. Arginase-1 catalyzes the final step of the urea cycle converting L-arginine to L-ornithine and urea. Thus, MDSCs increase the catabolism of L-arginine resulting in L-arginine depletion in the inflammatory microenvironment of cancer. The reduced availability of L-arginine suppresses T cell proliferation and function and thus contributes to tumor progression. Arginase-1 is of great interest to researchers looking for a therapeutic target to inhibit the function of MDSCs in the context of cancer immunotherapy. In addition, research studies have demonstrated that arginase-1 distinguishes primary hepatocellular carcinoma from metastatic tumors in the liver, indicating its value as a potential biomarker in the diagnosis of HCC. |
